my armed maid

Chapter 71 68: The fire has started a prairie fire

Su Yi was galloping alone on the grassland on his war horse. The shouts of his tribe and the horns of the knights were all left behind him at this time.

During this process, he also thought and regretted, what's the use of living alone?
Talking about preserving the last bit of blood of the tribe is just a good excuse.

Even if he is still alive, the Lebus clan with him alone has ceased to exist in name only, and there is no possibility of revival.

The Loebs are finished.

I chose to run away in the end, probably not for a grand cause such as making a comeback, but just to survive and to escape the fact of my failure.

It is very easy to escape, but once you escape, your dignity as a warrior will cease to exist in that moment.

What's even more tragic is that even though he lost his dignity as a warrior and gave up his responsibility as a young master, he still couldn't escape the White Raven's pursuit.

In the past, he had only heard from his subordinates that the White Raven was very difficult to deal with. At that time, he was still secretly angry. How could his invincible cavalry unit on the grassland lose to such a guy of unknown origin?

But now, facing the White Raven in person, he finally understood how terrifying she was.

The guards on the ground were unable to restrict the movements of the white raven in the sky. Even if he was riding the fastest horse on the grassland, he was still easily caught up by her.

He got rid of the pursuit of the knights and the expectations of his people, but he couldn't get rid of the white raven that followed him everywhere.

"Soon-"

A fast and sharp wind blade struck from his back. Su Yi abandoned his horse and pounced to the side in embarrassment.

The wind blade cut his horse into two pieces, completely cutting off his last chance.

His heart became cold, and his despair finally turned into desperate ferocity, and he began to draw his bow and shoot at the white raven.

Even if he kills her, he may not be able to escape;
But if he doesn't kill her, he won't be able to escape.

As the young master of the Lebus tribe, he has learned martial arts from his heavenly father since he was a child. He is also proficient in archery and can easily hit flying swallows in the sky.

The exception is the white raven. She is too fast and her flight path is far more erratic than that of a bird.

Yuna dodged the arrow in a flash, and immediately opened the four accelerating magic circles and swooped down towards Su Yi.

The magic gun switched the magic circle, she raised her hand, and launched the "Gathered Pyroblast" at Su Yi at close range.

Su Yi had already regarded the White Raven as a powerful threat, and he did not hesitate to attack her. The moment she deployed the magic circle at the muzzle of her gun, he jumped back, narrowly avoiding the explosion of "Gathered Pyroblast" center.

Spells are known for their powerful power and larger radiation range, but the price is higher magic power consumption and longer casting time than combat skills.

Whether it is the mage chanting or silently reciting a spell, or activating and unfolding the magic circle, it requires a certain amount of casting time. This is a very conspicuous forward movement in the fast-paced close combat of high-level knights.

However, the super-fast movement speed of Valkyrie's flying wing made up for this flaw to a certain extent. She rushed in too fast. Even if Su Yi dodged back in time, she was still hit by the aftermath of the "Gathered Pyroblast" explosion. hit.

"boom--"

He was so shaken by the aftermath of the explosion that he took several steps back before he could regain his balance.

Su Yi retreated and Yuna moved forward. In the dust raised by the explosion, she came through the smoke, raised the magic cannon with her left hand and started to cast the "Destruction Beam".

Accelerated by the flying wing thrusters, her explosive speed was even faster than Su Yi's. The distance between the two quickly narrowed, and the black barrel pointed directly at his chest.

"Om-"

Magic power quickly poured into the magic cannon, and a large amount of light elements gathered on the magic circle spread out from the cannon. The terrifying elemental fluctuations contained in it made Su Yi's expression change.

At this time, the white raven was only three steps away from him. With the firing speed and caliber of the "Destruction Beam", there was almost no possibility for him to dodge at such a close distance.

With the flexibility and speed of a knight, the firepower and output of a mage, and the ability to attack from all angles from the sky and the ground, this is the White Raven, a combat weapon with almost no shortcomings!

Seeing that the high-level spell was about to be cast, and there was no way he could retreat from this distance, Su Yi's eyes flashed with fierceness.

He stopped and advanced instead of retreating. He pulled out the machete from his waist and slashed at the muzzle of the magic cannon in front of him.

While the close-range bombardment has a high hit rate, it means that you can also hurt the opponent. As long as the magic cannon is destroyed before the magic circle is fully formed, the spell can be stopped.

When life and death are at stake, the only way to gain a chance of survival is by attacking!
Su Yi slashed down with his machete, and the charging time of high-level spells was longer than ordinary spells. He was actually able to hit the muzzle of the cannon before the magic circle was fully deployed and resolve this fatal blow!
Yuna's expression hidden under the mask did not waver at all. Of course she knew that this was the most direct way to defeat the close-range bombardment.

The magic cannon is a precise magic weapon. Once the structure is destroyed by external force during the casting process, the magic cannon will inevitably be interrupted, and it may even cause the barrel to explode.

Therefore, the moment she saw Su Yi pull out the machete, she used her mind to activate the "blocking barrier" of the magic circle on her left arm guard.

"Shh-"

At the critical moment, a sparkling omnidirectional barrier popped up on White Raven, completely enveloping her and the magic cannon.

The machete slashed towards the blocking barrier, slicing it open smoothly after a brief delay.

After all, it was a full blow from a sixth-level knight, so it was normal for a fourth-level defensive spell to be unable to withstand it.

But in just such a split second, the "Destruction Beam" array was finally fully charged.

"No!"

In Su Yi's desperate eyes, before the machete hit the muzzle, the magic circle burst out with dazzling white light.

The beam of light, which symbolized destruction and purification, swallowed up all the objects in front of it, and then plowed towards the ground, carving a black charred tunnel in the grassland.

The beam shooting ended immediately, and Yuna lowered the muzzle. In her mental induction, the magic power of Valkyrie's backpack was on the verge of drying up.

But it doesn't matter, the battle is over.

Su Yi fell beside the black tunnel plowed by the light. He was directly hit by the "Destruction Beam" below his waist, and his lower body was melted until only some black residue remained.

Since it was not a direct hit, he did not die on the spot, but this was not because Yuna missed the shot, but because she did it deliberately.

It would be too easy for this Class A war criminal who started a war and brought disaster to countless families to die so easily and painlessly.

She unloaded the magic cannon, dropped the magic blunderbuss, pulled out the knight's sword from her waist, and slowly walked towards Su Yi.

Su Yi lay dying on the ground. He had lost half of his body, and his internal organs were also affected by the high-temperature beam energy flow. He had suffered irreversible damage, and it was only a matter of time before he died.

Yuna came to him, kicked away the machete that fell aside, pointed the tip of the sword at his chest, and looked at him condescendingly:
"So you are the next heavenly father of the grassland people."

Knowing that his death was sealed, Su Yi closed his eyes in frustration and did not answer.

Yuna continued: "I'm here to tell you that the Linfeng people, the king of the grassland people, have come to take back their hometown."

Hearing this familiar sentence, Su Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her in shock.

This sentence made an impression on him.

Before the war started, in order to provoke Linfeng City, he personally massacred a village outside the city, cut off the legs of a young knight, and said to her:
"People of Roland, I want you to bring a message to our king and tell him that the people of Lebus have come to recover their hometown."

Is this accidental?
The two sentences are so similar, at that time and that moment, exactly at this moment.It's just that now the person lying on the ground without his lower body has become him.

"W-who are you!?" Su Yi took a breath and struggled to ask.

Is it the girl knight whose legs he cut off who came to take revenge?But the white raven has sound limbs and its strength is much higher than that of the girl knight.

In his eyes, the white raven is an invincible being. Not only can it fly freely at high altitudes and be invincible, but it also has an extremely rich range of attack methods.

From a distance, you can use the Wind Blade to contain them and use the Sky Burning Flames to carry out tactical strikes. From close range, you can use the Focused Pyroblast to suppress the opponent, and use the Destruction Beam to shoot in the face.

She also has a blocking barrier to defend herself. No one can escape or fight with her.

She can't hit her from a long range, but she's still in vain. In close combat, she can summon a shield to withstand her own attacks.

How could there be such a shameless opponent?

The battle with the White Raven made him feel that the fighting methods of the two sides did not exist in the same dimension.

It's not so much that he was beaten until he was convinced, but that he was beaten until he was discouraged and completely gave up struggling.

If he had known that there was such a troublesome and powerful being in Linfeng City, he would never have risked the fate of his entire family and started a war easily.

But the strange thing is that before the war began, neither the intelligence that Reiner gathered in the army nor the information network created by the prairie people themselves in the city found the White Raven.

She was like an angel sent by the gods, or a guardian silently lurking in Linfeng City, who came out of the sky to save the world when the building was about to collapse.

But for Linfeng City, this means saving the world, but for the Lebus tribe, it means destroying the world.

He stared at the white raven, and even at the last moment of his life, he wanted to know who was the person who killed him, who was the culprit who made the whole family's efforts fail.

"who am I?"

Yuna paused and said quietly, "I am the white raven, the souls of thousands of innocent people killed by you. Now, they are asking for their lives."

"Pretending to be a ghost." Su Yi sneered, "You've killed a lot of people, haha... that's all. It's just a winner and a loser. There's nothing to say."

Just a winner and a loser?
Yuna felt that he was wrong. The prairie people treated civilians with such atrocities during the war that both sides reached the point of fighting to the death.

How can this be covered up with a fluttering sentence of "winners and losers".

Even though the Roland Empire used force to conquer other ethnic groups, they did not massacre the aliens, but adopted a gentle policy. Otherwise, the grassland people would have ceased to exist seven or eighty years ago.

In this vast land, the two ethnic groups could have shared a city and a grassland, but things have developed to this point.

This is inseparable from the fact that the leaders of the prairie people have been brainwashing the people with hatred and trying to solve conflicts through killing.

Since the tragedy happened and after meeting Nolen, she has tried hard to use her head and think a lot.

It is undoubtedly wrong to sacrifice so many innocent people just for the so-called obsession. You and the Heavenly Fathers of all generations have embarked on a road of no return——

Yuna wanted to point this out, but she was at a loss for words and she was so stupid that she didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Su Yi spat out a mouthful of blood after a violent cough. He lay slumped on the ground, his breath quickly becoming weak.

"Father, I tried my best..." His eyes gradually became empty, "I'm sorry that I couldn't fulfill the last wishes of my ancestors..."

Yuna looked at him. She originally wanted the war criminal to confess before he died, but he didn't seem to feel guilty.

Perhaps this is why Ryan and Nolen believe that this war can only end with the complete elimination of one side.

Those who cannot understand each other can only use outright violence to decide who is qualified to survive.

Fortunately, they were the last to survive.

It's time to end this tragedy.

She raised her knight's sword and stabbed it downwards.

The sword blade penetrated Su Yi's chest and gave him the final blow.

Staring silently at the death of her enemy, Yuna took off her white raven mask.

"Oh it's you……"

Su Yi's eyes reflected her face, and her lips moved slightly.

"I really should have..."

Before he finished speaking, there was no movement at all.

Yuna stood still for a long time. Not far away, the knights had chased and surrounded the remaining Lebus tribe.

"Noren."

After a moment of silence, Yuna put on her mask and asked, "Is the war over?"

"It's over." Nolen replied, "Just leave the rest to the Knights. You can return."

"……it is good."

Yuna picked up the equipment on the ground and drove Valkyrie to fly to Linfeng City.

Behind her, five chariots roared again, and the shouts mixed with the thick smoke and spread to places far, far away.

The fire has started a prairie fire.
-
The war chapter is coming to an end.

As the end of the war chapter, the decisive battle between Yuna and the young master Su Yi, I originally imagined various thrilling battle scenes.

For example, there should be more difficulties during the battle, and there should be more twists and turns.

It would be best if Yuna was dying in the battle, desperately killed Su Yi, and then revealed her true face amidst Su Yi's unwilling roar.

Jie Jie, a classic revenge drama.

But when I actually started writing by hand, I found that many things actually came naturally, and forcing difficulties to set them up seemed deliberate.

Let’s finalize it like this.

Although the war chapter is coming to an end, it is better to say that the story has just begun.

After sorting out the outline, I still feel a little emotional (←Actually, I found that 4K words are not enough and I wrote some reflections to make up the number of words)

Write slowly.

See you tomorrow, book friends~
　Thanks to DECO28 and Ai Yifu for their rewards. This chapter polishes the plot a little bit, and I apologize for being a little late.
